The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. Its 17 Sustainable Development Goals have been designed to be a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all". Sustainable Development Goal No. 12 is about the responsible consumption and production. Reducing waste generation is one of its targets. Purchasing long-lasting veterinary instruments is a good way to pursue it. Cutting down waste is not only necessary to respect the planet, it is also essential to protect one’s own resources and increase farm’s profitability.

Nowadays, the trend of buying low-cost syringes, is wrongly perceived as a saving. The reality is drastically different, considering the amounts spent on replacements within a short time, are by far exceeding the money invested in lasting injectors. Therefore, opting for some of the cheap metal or plastic offers will soon be proving an expensive buying decision a farm manager can make. Breakage, interruption of vaccination process, difficult maintenance, unreplaceable parts, are only a few of additional downsides encountered with low-end products, with no exception. All the while, their performance in terms of accuracy and precision will often play an adverse role when treating precious poultry stock with expensive vaccines.

On the contrary, selecting high-end injectors and carefully observing basic rules of hygiene and thorough maintenance between vaccination cycles, rather than throwing syringes away, is ensuring non-stop, smooth and reliable operation. Furthermore, precision instrumentation guaranties that each animal receives exactly the prescribed dose. A safe way to ensure that animal health, profitability and nature are safeguarded for a rewarding business.
